6 Larry Levy MaDneSS It's the madness we want the madness we crave the madness of insatiable desire. The madness of hope the madness of denial the madness of all the things that conspire. The madness of sex the madness of sex the madness of sex the madness of sex the broken record, the skip the repetition, the drip. The madness online the madness in line the madness of doing a line the madness between them. The madness of words the madness sentenced the madness phrased the paragraph, the chapter the metaphor, the laughter. The madness of mad men the madness of the sane the madness of everyone in between. The madness of madness the madness of me the madness of you. 8

7 Convoluted Whispers When lips meet, we do not hear the sounds of hungry children crying. IV. The pro-offered cheek a remnant of Victorian prudery. The extended hand a one-sided sign of respect - flirtation mere gamesmanship. Faces tilt right the egalitarian movement of eyes, nose and mouth. Fingers enmeshed, adhesion. The other breathes only in the moment -- clocks serve no purpose. Fear and suspicion vanish; no possessions, no politics, no enemies. The eternal. Holding hands gets us there. 65

8 An introspective journey through the psychological and philosophical questioning of fear and insignificance, love and death, and the loss of youth. A humorous trip back to the innocence of sexual discovery, coming of age, and enlightenment, that resolves in the power of the kiss.
